Make a positive impact toward sustainability. Overview "Acquire the knowledge to create a sustainable future. The reasons why are all around you." With the new Bachelor of Environmental Studies program at the University of Prince Edward Island you will learn to make environmental connections across academic fields and to analyze environmental challenges we face today. In the classroom, field, and community, you will lead the way in finding innovative solutions making a positive impact toward sustainability in your personal life, locally and globally. Environmental issues typically do not respect traditional academic boundaries and require scientific, technical, human and social perspectives to address. As an interdisciplinary liberal arts and science program, the Bachelor of Environmental Studies will provide students with the opportunity to integrate knowledge across faculties of Arts, Science, and Business.

Degree A student enrolled in the Bachelor of Environmental Studies (BES) will require a total of 120 credit hours or 40 Courses which includes a minimum of 42 credit hours or 14 discipline specific courses with a designation of Environmental Studies (). There are five required core courses in Environmental Studies, one of which requires a 30 hour internship working with a community partner engaged in the environmental field ( 301). There are requirements from the Faculties of Arts, Science and School of Business also. Students are required to choose one of three specializations: Environmental Thought and Practice Island Environments and Sustainability Environmental Innovation and Change Management The specialization in Environmental Thought and Practice focuses on the exploration of the values, attitudes and beliefs of people in relation to the environment in order to provide answers to pressing environmental concerns. Island Environments and Sustainability specialization focuses on the diverse characteristics of islands and islanders interaction with the environment in order to gain an understanding of lessons for sustainability in all places. The specialization in Environmental Innovation and Change Management focuses on learning how to live within the limits of our environment, and develop innovations to manage the interaction of human activities with and upon the environment in a positive way; to challenge the conventional and move organizations, businesses and communities to invoke positive change. Specializations COURSE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION Students are expected to apply for a particular specialization at the beginning of their second year. However, it is possible for students to declare a specialization until the end of their third year. See the Suggested Course Sequence tab below for each specialization's suggested sequence.
